Sarah Chandler, Joseph Alden's Mother-in-law

[Becky]

Debbie,

 

Thanks again.

 

Sarah Chandler is a mess. She was born in Holland about 1615. I merged her a while back, but did not clean up the bio section. It's probably a good idea to backup what's there to your computer. If you're interested, see what you can do. Enjoy!

 

Lianne Lavoie (she's the adm contact for our questions) put out "specs" for biography sections in this google group.

Here's the profile Becky is referring to:

It definitely is a mess and could use Debbie's touch.

Unless something extraordinary happens, an offline back-up shouldn't
be necessary. The complete change history should be accessible through
http://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:NetworkFeed&who=Chandler-26
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean, Becky?

I have a half hour so I'm going to work on some merges related to the
Chandler family. Then there will be more work for you guys! :-)

Chris

Am I correct in thinking that:

Chandler-26

Chandler-195

Chandler-618

Chandler-631

Chandler-825

represent pretty much the same person? That is, they all died on the same day, and most of them have children named Leonard. Their parents' names are consistent, but each parent profile is different than the others. To me, Roger and Isabella need to be sorted out before Sarah. 

Let me know what people think,

Wow, Sarah Chandler is certainly a challenge!  My method of cleaning up Bios is to copy them in entirety, then paste the Bio into a word document.  When all the changes are complete, I simply copy the revised information back to the Wiki profile.  This way, it appears as a single change and not 50 little changes.  I am hoping my method will make it easier to track changes as well.

So I have Sarah Chandler in a word document now, please let me know if I need to work on Roger or Isabella first.

Some time ago, I proposed a bunch of merges for Chilton-6. I believe
these will eventually help with Chandler-26

I think of this project as of two parts, e. g.,

1) Merge as many profiles as possible.

2) Summarize the biographical information as accurately as possible.

They really are separate operations, but I would say that by first
merging the profiles, all available biographical information would be
in one place where it could all be evaluated.

When I did the original merging, I was merging the wives of Moses Simmons after I had merged his profiles. I had a note that said she seemed to be the daughter of Edmund Chandler.  I also found doing a person search that a different Sarah Chandler married Solomon Leonard.  I did not merge her profiles:

 

Chandler-195

Chandler-618

Chandler-631                  
Chandler-738                  

Chandler-825

 

I used husband, not father, as the criteria for deciding who was who. 

 

Yesterday I did some research and added my findings to the profile of Chandler-26:

 

There were two people born in the early 1600's named "Sarah Chandler".

The parent of one is Edmund Chandler who migrated from Leiden to Duxbury 1632. His wives are unknown. This Sarah was born about 1638 and was mentioned in her father's will of May 3, 1662.  (These are all the original records found for her) 

The other Sarah Chandler was the daughter of Roger Chandler, who married at Leiden Isabel Chilton on October 15, 1615. [She was the daughter of James Chilton.] Their daughter Sarah was boen before October, 15, 1622. She Matteid about 1640 Solomon Leanord or Leonardson.

Source: Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Vol I, Boston, New England Historic Genelogical Society 1995 p.326 - 332. (Online at americanancestors.org)

So far, I can find no serious evidence that either one married Moses Simmons: 3 pages of google, Alden " silver book", Simmons Genealogy by Henry S. Rowe 1933, Simmons Genealogy by L.A. Simmons 1930 (This genealogy mentioned that older sources say that the daughter of Roger married Moses, but gave no evidence.)

Thanks,

Thanks for your attempt to sort out the Sarahs. I do recall running
into this in the past, but came up with no clear understanding of
which information was correct; and I gave up.

It will be beneficial to have just two profiles for these Sarahs. It
would help a lot of crossed up genealogies.

Yes, I've looked them over carefully. These are all profiles of the same person. Chandler-26 had a different husband from the others, so I originally believed that she might be a different person.  She is a granddaughter of James Chilton who sailed on the Mayflower.  Her marriage is documented in the will of her father Roger Clinton.

 

Please see:

This is Moses Simmons, whose wife is unknown.

 

I'm getting set to do expidited merges. Then Debbie can finish her work on the bio section.
